Peripheral Examples

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

#include <WiFi.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin("your-ssid", "your-password");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500); Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("\nConnected: " + WiFi.localIP().toString());
}

void loop() { delay(1000); }

Bluetooth LE Beacon

#include <BLEDevice.h>
#include <BLEAdvertising.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  BLEDevice::init("T7-C6");
  BLEAdvertising *adv = BLEDevice::getAdvertising();
  adv->setScanResponse(false);
  BLEDevice::startAdvertising();
  Serial.println("BLE advertising started");
}

void loop() { delay(1000); }

Notes

• Wi-Fi 6: 802.11ax (2.4 GHz only), Bluetooth 5.0 LE, Thread/Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4)
• Power outputs: 5 V and 3.3 V rails available on headers
• QWIIC: 1× QWIIC connector for I2C sensor expansion
• Battery: TP4065 charging IC for Li-Po battery
• Arduino core: Requires ESP32 Arduino core v3.x for ESP32-C6 support

FAQ

Q: Board not recognized in Arduino IDE? A: Ensure you have installed ESP32 Arduino core v3.x or later — the C6 is not supported in v2.x.

Q: Thread/Zigbee not working? A: Thread and Zigbee require ESP-IDF v5.x and specific SDK configuration — not available directly from Arduino. Use ESP-IDF for IEEE 802.15.4 protocols.
